Fish Oil Anyone??

Fish Oil: Does A Body GOOD!!

Fish Oil: this is one supplement I make sure to take every single day! It DOES make a difference! Are you looking for your hunger to disappear, to reduce inflammation, weight loss, improved blood chemistry and better overall health??? Then you're in luck, because studies have proven that high concentrations of fish oil can be used to dramatically reduce all of these! Also, clinical research shows that fatty acids, even when used to supplement a poor diet, can help lower the risk of heart disease, cancer, MS, bipolar depression, ADHD, chronic pain and Alzheimer's-- all because fish oils reduce inflammation!

Sounds awesome right?! Your next step is to make sure you're getting fish oil with the appropriate amount of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). These are the two omega-3 fatty acids that your fish oil should be measured.

So what dosage of fish oil should you take? 450-500 mg per day of combined EPA/DHA is a good place to start. The World Health Organization and other governmental health agencies recommend 300-500 mg per day, and most research studies touting the health benefits of omega 3s are done using fish oil doses of 1000 mg and up. It's recommended that you start slow when you take fish oil to see what your body feels comfortable with and to make sure you don't have any fish oil side effects, like allergies.

This is the fish oil that I take, it has a pretty good amount of EPA & DHA. And I know some of you out there are thinking "I tried fish oil and I had fishy burps." Well try these, I never have the "fishy burps," as long as you make sure to take them with food. Finally, in order to really know how many mg's you should be taking, use the Fish Oil Calculator. Just enter all your bodyweight stats (there's even accommodations for kilos and stone), your Fish Oil Factor, and the details from the label on your particular brand of fish oil and the calculator will automatically generate your daily dose of fish oil. There ya have it! You're on your way to feeling better already!
